Better Wind Data

November 6, 2005|Mark A. Cook Fort Lauderdale

In order to attain accurate wind damage data that will better enable accurate forecasting and improved preparations, one must analyze the factors that dictate the effect of wind rifling between objects. It must as well be understood that current sustained wind analysis is the result of the average speed during a period of time.

Ultimately, there will need to be thousands of wind gauges deployed throughout localized areas so that we get a greater fix on just how often and to what extreme we are being affected by the variable gusting winds of a storm.
